About The Show

I BET YOU is a long weekend Vegas adventure slash doc slash comedy. In this weekend we glimpse inside the outrageous lives of best friends and uber gamblers Jim "UberTilt" Watson and Steve "Forbillz" Forcash as they wander the casinos of Vegas, all the while betting and daring each other and others on anything and everything that inspires them. We'll see high-stakes wagering action on the streets, outrageous dares for big money, and event-level bets all risking our hosts' own money and pride.

The rapport and interaction between Steve and Jim forms the backbone of the trips' origin---we're watching mediocore poker players joust with each other, bringing their intensely competitive spirits and quirky personalities into your Vegas vacation. We're getting a glimpse at their lifestyles, competitive friendships, and hilarious banter.

This weekend is a series of different types of stunts and bets with stakes varying in levels, culminating in a sweat-inducing hangover. Stylistically, the trip is organic and spontaneous---we're hanging out with Jim and Steve in Vegas where they play and gambool. The trip is a blend of betting action and the hosts' crazy lifestyle. The hosts are taking bets for your enjoyment and paying out with their own money.

Steve Forcash

"I love the fact that I can mess with someone's head."
- Steve Forcash.

Of course you have to be able to mess with people's heads if you're gonna wager with the frequency that Steve does.

Steve has had success in poker. He has about a dozen 4-digit cashes, including a 2nd place finish at the BARGE 2006 TOC tourney at the Venetian, where, after 24 hours of partying before the tourney, he doesn’t remember much of the final table. At a recent run of tourney success at TI in Las Vegas, where, in a 24-hour period of four tourneys, Steve took two 1st place finishes, a 3rd and a 4th, earning him the nickname from the staff at TI of “Mr. Wins Everything.”

Steve’s desire to gamble goes far beyond the felt, however. He’s bound to make a wager on anything, with anyone, at anytime. One example is Steve’s $100 last longer bet with poker professional Gavin Smith as to whether Steve’s fiancée Jen could outlast Gavin’s fiancée in a poker tournament they were both in. Another is the attempted $1,000 high-card with Sammy Farha at the Bellagio. If you challenge him, Steve is bound to bet on golf, whose drink gets delivered first, or whether a male or female is the next to pass by Steve’s office door!

He impresses with style and sensibility every time he steps out with his posse, running up lavish tabs at top restaurants and nightclubs and then gambling to see who pays. People who know him know that the party is wherever he is.

In his adopted home of Las Vegas, he enjoys exclusive VIP treatment at all of the mediocre locations, and is the only dude allowed to dance on the catwalk at Tao without getting pummeled by security.

Jim Watson

If you've never stayed up drinking for 36 hours straight and then jumped into the biggest poker game of your life, then you haven't gambooled. - Jim Watson

Jim is known for his trademark pursuit of Uber-Tilt, whether it is his own or others. In Vegas, he cannot seem to sit still. He is constantly jumping stumbling into poker games, tournaments, blackjack tables and the occasional heavy metal singer. (Ask him about running into Lemmy from Motorhead at the Venetian.)

Unfortunately, the quality of his play speaks for itself. In 2004 he won a tournament at his brother-in-law's house. In 2006, Jim took home $3,500 in the Hollywood Poker Daily tournament. Jim's outrageous drinking at the table has often drawn criticism from more conservative elements in the poker world, but with close to $1 million in losses, he can pretty much act however he wants.

Despite the physical energy Jim (whose pastimes have included sky diving and scuba diving) brings to poker, he is a highly cerebral player who says he is driven by playing well, not by winning. He has a B.S. in computer science, and has worked as an engineer, a delivery boy for The Onion, a sports broker, and now describes himself as a "part-time poker degeneratum" who is also working a 9-5 job. In short, he's a character.
